Juan Aristizábal from Ekhymosis. The band itself became a pop band, but their earlier stuff was thrash in the Metallica vein. Juan eventually went on to a solo pop career. Shame because the pop stuff sounds uber-generic to me and the thrash stuff was decent second tier material.

Ernie C of Body Count produced Black Sabbath's last album before the 1997 reunion with Ozzy and most of the original lineup. Not strictly speaking a performing role but it counts, Ice T did a spoken word piece on one of the tracks as well.

Wasn't Shannon Larkin the drummer for Ugly Kid Joe as well before he joined Godsmack? Not quite "more extreme", but still......

THANK YOU! While that part always feels really awkward in an otherwise solid song, it bugs the crap out of me when people say that Ice-T is rapping in the middle of The Illusion Of Power. Just because he's a rapper doesn't mean that it's a rap. That and it's too short and doesn't have any flow.

I reckon Ghost (Sweden/Occult Metal) is quite popular now. Papa Emeritus (Lead Ghoul or frontman whatever he is) is actually a skinny dude named Tobias Forge. He's the frontman of Repugnant (Sweden/Death Metal). He has also played in a alternative/punk rock oriented group called Subvision.

The guy has the lyrical credits, it doesnt mean he is Papa Emeritus. Tobias also played in the early incarnation of the glam rock group Chrashdiet.

There are lot of speculations about that. But I'm pretty sure Tobias is Papa Emeritus.

Not sure if he has already been mentioned, but as far as I'm concerned Devin Townsend has mastered both pop music and extreme music. Strapping Young Lad's Alien and his solo album Ki demonstrate my point beautifully.

Not that anybody cares about this band now, but back in the 90s and when I was in school, I remember Sugar Ray played some heavy music. I can't confirm this via googling or through wiki right now, but that's my hunch.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned The Kovenant originally being Covenant.

If you're talking about the Swedish EBM group Covenant, it's not the same guys.

I was talking about the Norwegian black metal Covenant changing their style to electronica-influenced industrial metal with tinges of black metal kinda sorta still there at times and their name along with it to The Kovenant.

J.Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. (Although Dino Jr. is not quite popular in that sense) has played drums in doom metal band Upsidedown Cross (US) and still plays drums in Witch (US/Stoner, doom).

The current vocalist for Cloven Hoof appeared on The X Factor in the UK this year. He's now apparently begun a pop career. Also, somewhat amusingly, his X Factor "career" was funded by a convict described at the time of The X Factor's airing as "The most wanted man in Britain".

Shaun Glass, long ago, used to visit the AOL Metal chats and basically crapped on his time in Broken Hope, so I'm guessing he did it to make a couple bucks doing festival dates and stuff like that more than because he wanted to play death metal again.

Yep. I remember reading about that more than once. If he wanted to make a couple of bucks, he should've stayed in Soil. Because death metal is nobody's meal ticket. So hopefully he's really into it.
